Lauren Sanderson
Dear Universe
You know you're kinda like the female G-Eazy
The confidence of Drake, with the goofiness of Weezy
Give me a piece of paper and I'll write shit easy peasy
No confusion, got a dream and I'll achieve it lemon squeezy, yuh

When I grow up, I want a Charger and a Benzy
I wake up every day and work until the day endzy
People come to me when their life is in a frenzy
If to you, my vision's blurry, wipe your fucking lensy

I have no doubt the shit I dream will truly happen
Feel it in my soul, it's like my conscience always tappin'
See myself on stages, to a crowd I will be rapping
I know I'm 19, but good God lets get it crackin'

On the move, every day's a new location
My life is kinda cool, it's like a constant vacation
Girls in my DM's, let me give you a quotation
"Yeah, I love you so much, Lauren, you're my inspiration!"

Oh am I really? Goddamn this shit moves super fast
Gettin work done cause I don't care to finish last
Got a job, got a girl, yeah I got a past
Which is exactly why I strive to make my future last

"Way to go, baby!" Fam's always got my back
Even back at the house when all I did was slack
Even when I was going down the wrong path
That's what happens when it's mainly confidence you lack
Refuse to turn back, right now all I see is forward
All I see are dreams and goals, that's all I move toward
Is my merch ordered? In size order?
Is my art bordered? Am I performer?

Are we getting warmer? Is it my time?
If not, I'll do it by myself, don't wanna stand in line
If you want it, you will get it, draw the line
Cause time don't stop for anybody, I'm not wasting mine

So from now on, listen to your soul
If you got so many dreams, how come they never show?
Man it's up to you, that's all I know
What you think you become, that's how it goes

The problem is you think it's all a joke
Don't give into society, I swear it's all a hoax
They tell you you're not beautiful, and then they brag and boast
But your worth is not defined by the likes on shit you post

Do the most - Everything you got and more
There's so much more to life, take a second to explore
Your mind and all your thoughts, fuck, it's really not a chore
Sit down with a journal, get a pen and let it pour, yeah, yeah

Cause how you think this song was made?
Think about it, really think before you throw me shade
I'm just a normal kid, livin' life, can't complain
I gotta little knowledge so trust me when I say
Stay positive and stay you every day
When you're positive, the negatives fade away
It happens when you change your mind in every way
Listen to my words, let them sink in and pray

"Dear Universe, let me tell you 'bout my day
Nothing's working, swear its not," That's what you'll say
"My life's going wrong and to my dismay
I can't find happiness and when I do, it never stays

My boyfriend's been cheatin', gettin' laid
Plus I lost my job, now I'm not gettin' paid
I bend backwards just to make the good stay
Then the sadness comes and it never goes away

I've tried everything - Drinking, smoking, nothin' works
Tell me why all I ever seem to do is hurt
Why's this happening, Universe, You hear my thoughts?
Cause honestly at this point, they're really all I got

It's worth a shot, please, someone do you hear me?
I know you're there, God, please, someone do you feel me?
I need some good thoughts and energy near me,"
Say thank you and sign your name
Sincerely
The Universe surrounds you when you share your voice
But he needs all your attention so clear the noise
He'll tell you happy's not a destination, it's a choice
No direction, don't wait for him to fuckin' point

It's up to you, you decide with every glance you take
Good or bad is a decision you gotta make
Is it really that deep? Ask yourself and wait
Can I help the situation or won't it change?

Guess you'll never know, cause you never do it
You see a problem and you give up, "Nah man, screw it"
You're in a constant battle, but I'll help you through it
If you're willing, start fresh like a fuckin' tourist

When this song ends, really think about your life
I have faith in you, take my words as advice
You are beautiful and everything will be alright
Make the change you wanna see, all doubts aside

[Narration]
That shit was fucking long as fuck
Well, long story short, like
The people who try and bring you down are already below you Just do you
Fuck it
Bye
